She has to learn not to say everything that she is thinking. and hoping for.
Now see what the Obama people are trying to say Bill Clinton said. They can't win fair so now once again they are putting words in people's mouth. You would think they would have learned from their assasination ploy. Obama needs to just accept defeat like an adult and stop planting false stories.

Why would a former President accuse his own party of a coverup. You know it is an Obama plant

This is hard for me. I don't even like Hillary but the number the media did on her on the RFK comment in nothing short of disgusting. They know damn well she wasn't implying Obama might get assassinated so she better stay in just in case and yet those slimy bastards were perfectly willing to imply that. Anyone listening to what she said knew she was talking about the fact that RFK was still around in June campaigning and she sees no reason she should leave. What a repulsive so-called "profession" journalism is. If they truly were a profession, like doctors, they could be sued for malpractice for crap like that.

You can sue a journalist for "malpractice." They're called slander and libel suits. And now that you've suggested it, I wish it would happen, too... talk about an interesting trial!

All the media did was report the comment.
Ask for reactions.
Report the reactions.
Sit back and look at the ratings.

Nothing illegal, plus she is a public figure.
The individual assumed it was Obama or rude to the Kennedy family to remind them of losing Robert the same week his brother was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

Then it was the person who posted the response at 2:39 AM today who moved it to the top of the page for all of those in EST to see when they checked in and be reminded of it. Now I am responding and keeping it going.

I'm just the opposite: I did like Hillary. In time I may like her again. I've studied her speeches and her strategies for years--and there is much to admire. But, IMO, this was no slip of the tongue. It was a strategy, and one I can't forgive.

But I can only speak for myself. I'm not all-knowing, like you.

Do the Clintons know about you? Because I'm thinking that with your superior knowledge you could really be useful to them. C'mon, you know how anyone listening to a speech will react. You know what every single reporter "damn well" knows. Good god, man, that's a gift! The Clintons need you.

They already have someone just like them called Bill. The even have another called Hillary. Together they make the Clintons. Sorta like a modern day Beverly HillBillies from Arkansas to BeverlyDC.

Will this continue to hurt her? Obama got 9 Super D's over the weekend. Will she leave after June 3th or will she try to take this all the way to Denver and if so why? I think she should stay in until June 3th but then I think she (if still behind in the Delegate Count) let it go.

While she may want to do the right thing for the party, can she? Is she able to give up what she assumed was hers? She already had the victory party and forgot to win first, how does she go on with her life. She never had a contingency for this.
